Plan your picnic without worrying about the weather. This 10 x 20 canopy from GigaTent provides plenty of shade and protection for 200 square feet of ground. With its powder-coated steel frame, it's durable and stable enough that you won't have to worry about a warm summer breeze blowing it away. For days when it's a bit more gusty, we're even packing in extra stakes and lines. GigaTent even made it so that it's easy for just two people to set this party tent up in under three minutes.

Do you have mesh sidewalls for the 10' x 20' outdoor canopy; if not, is there one that is compatible?

1 Answer

Neither netting nor sides are offered for this particular canopy; if you need a canopy with a sidewall option, please view our Caravan 10' x 20' located: here: 8 Side walls are available in the popular accessories tab.

Is this a heavy duty tent? Meaning, I have bought 3 tents in the past month (not from you, but other people). Every time I put it up, the bars snap on the inside.

Can this GigaTent 10 x 20 outdoor canopy be setup on asphalt?

Thank you for your inquiry. The Giga Tent 10x20 canopy can be set up on asphalt. We would suggest using weight bags to help with the stability when setting up.

Yes it can but you will need to use some sort of weighted bags or blocks to anchor

I have used it on our bluestone patio. I don't think it would put an imprint in hot asphalt, You could use small square pieces of plywood under the feet. If the concern is the wind because it can't be anchored, I've seen a number of different size ballast bags that use either sand or water for weight.

Yes, we set it up on asphalt all the time. We use tent weights to hold it down on windy days

It can be set up on just about any surface. How you secure it to black top is up to you.

I have not done so with this specific item. That said, it should behave like any other pop-up or garage canopy on a hard surface -- you'll want weight bags (or drywall buckets full of concrete or bricks) or another method of replacing staking it down.

Yes. This can be set up on asphalt or cement. The best tent I ever bought.

I have used this tent on asphalt several times. If its windy you will want to use large nail spikes in the foot of the legs to hold it down. We also use cement blocks for the other tie down ropes. Works great and super easy to set up and take down.

The Giga Tent can be set up on asphalt. In fact, that is how we use it.

Does this tent come with the top attached or is it one where the top has to be put on separately? I want a one piece canopy that is easy to take up and down.

6 Answers

You will have to attach the top the first time. They also suggest you remove the canopy top when taking down to prevent damage from the frame.

We had to put the top on the first time we used it and it took about 3 minutes so and we leave it on now. It is very easy to put up and take down.

the top is not connected to the frame, probably because it would get worn due to all the folding and moving parts. It's worth noting this is a larger than average tent and can stand some amount of wind. I wouldn 't want anything lighter as our neighbors have as the frames bend or break. It's not that cumbersome or complicated for two people once you've done it and develop your own routine. Based on your requirements, you might be more satisfied looking at larger umbrellas. Good luck.

The canopy comes separately and is recommended that you remove it when you fold up the tent. It is not too hard to put on either, you only need a couple of people, which you'd need to pull the tent out anyways.

You have to put the top on the frame; however, after you do it the first time you can close the tent with the top on and store it in the bag. It is easy to put on and I 1 time thing.

this one is a one piece that is easy to put up and take down once you put the cover on it. I have one and love it for the size

It comes with stakes and guide lines to anchor it down. However, if you will not be able to stake it down into the ground, we would suggest you use weight bags around the legs.

Dawn H. - eCanopy Product Specialist

The tie downs supplied do work well. When it is on a concrete or blacktop surface, I bring 5 gallon pails filled with water and put them in the corners and place quick clips on either end of the high tension rope to make it easy. Hope this helps.

Rod

It depends on the conditions. We had it on a driveway so we filled buckets with cement and tied the tent to the buckets with bungee cords. I have seen sand bags, weights, or pegs in the ground as well. A cement bucket on each corner worked for us. It's a nice tent.

Cindy

We use 3" PVC pipes that are 2 feet long and filled with concrete with eye hooks in them to tie to the four corners on a windy day. These tents are heavier than the ezups 10x10 so you do not need as many tie downs. This has worked for us up to about 25mph winds.

The tie down system I used is the Ratchet Tie-Downs. They are by far the safest system to use. I love this tent. It looked beautiful when I set up. I have sent a picture.

Karen

The tie down system that comes with it works fine depending on where you are however, I purchased extra stakes just in case that it may get real windy.

I used this canopy on my deck and screwed it down with oversized washers and deck screws.

If properly anchored or weighed down, it can withstand winds of 8-12 miles per an hour and gusts of 13-18 miles per an hour. If the winds are higher, you will need to use your own judgement. If the canopy starts moving around too much, you will need to take it down.

We used this tent while camping at a beachside campground and it did great. We used weights on the legs instead of the ground anchors due to the sandy ground and never had a problem.

Can we have a logo placed on this tent and if so how much is the set up?

No, not on this item. We can do custom graphics on Caravan, Vitabri, KD Kanopy, Ohenry, Eureka and Celina brand items. You can fill out the form at the following link and upload your logo for a free quote:

I plan to use it to cover my vehicle ( AKA Cartoon Truck ) which is 13' x6' x 55' high. Is it water proof ? And does it have side walls ? I travel to shows raising money for Wounded Warriors and Make A Wish Foundation, plus visits to military hospitals. I was amazed how easy it was to set up...I'll be doing it alone.

1 Answer

While this product is water resistant, it is not fully water proof and cannot protect against heavy rain. This particular item does not offer sidewalls as an option.
We do have other pop up canopies that have enclosure walls if necessary, but a truly waterproof pop up tent is difficult to find. Usually, the heavier pole tents are necessary to guarantee against water intrusion.

Can I buy side walls for this tent. For example with windows or screens.

1 Answer

No, side walls are not available for this item. You can add side walls to the Caravan brand canopies. You can view these at the following link:
Caravan Pop Up Canopies
You would just need to narrow your selection by brand and size. The walls can be found on the accessories tab.

WOW this is great

I cannot believe how fast and easy this was to set up. The fabric is strong and thick, the poles are sturdy. It went into the bag with ease. It comes with a sturdy bag that has wheels. I love it, can't wait to go camping and use it. Hanging lanterns will be so easy. Great value for the money.
